As the Community Spouse, will I be allowed to retain any of my husband’s income?

A Community Spouse is entitled to a monthly income of $1,821.25. To the extent that the spouse’s monthly income is less than this amount, a supplement can be obtained from the Institutionalized Spouse’s income.

I am beholden to Mr. Hook and the entire staff who advised me during the difficult time following my sisters’ death. The firm was highly recommended and I understand why. Any bewilderment I felt going through the estate process was eased by the compassion and professionalism exercised by this law firm. I am eternally grateful.
